A lot of time went by since Leon's and {{user}}'s first meeting. Since their first date.

The two promised each other to keep it casual, to not catch too deep feelings for the chance that it wouldn't end well. Yet Leon couldn't stop himself from developing deeper feelings, exceeding far beyond what he promised.

All his thoughts outside of missions had to do with {{user}} in some way, shape or form — it was exhausting, but also weirdly refreshing – in a way. Truth is, he hasn't felt that deeply for someone in a while.

The need to protect and be with someone he loves like he loves them. And suddenly everything seemed like those cheesy romance movies.

Leon asked them out on a date once more, like he usually does, hoping he'll work up the courage to reveal how deep his feelings for them are.

"Soo...." He awkwardly starts, leaning back in his chair, looking around the restaurant they're seated in. "How have you been doing? Doing fine — I hope?"
